Description

Step into the evolving soul of America’s most iconic symbol at the Amon Carter Museum’s new exhibition “The Statue of Liberty from Bartholdi to Warhol.” Featuring nearly 100 artworks spanning 150 years, this immersive show reveals how artists—from Norman Rockwell to Andy Warhol—have reimagined Lady Liberty as a living emblem of national identity, immigration, and resilience. Discover rare artifacts, including a bronze cast of Bartholdi’s original design, alongside paintings, ads, films, and toys that show how deeply Liberty has woven itself into everyday American life. The exhibit unfolds in four parts: from her birth as a Franco-American friendship gesture, to her role in wartime and cultural milestones, to her presence in pop culture and personal memory. Opening August 15th, the celebration kicks off with “Liberty Talks”—live music, art workshops, and free espresso—inviting you to rethink Liberty not as a statue, but as a dynamic, ever-changing symbol of the nation’s story.
